This year, I’ve committed to residing a minimalist lifestyle, then i made this drastic decision last year, when I realized our beach house and life was stuffed full of unnecessary items that I didn’t need.
I found myself always chasing and buying things that would only give myself and others temporary joy in our life; Not only this, but our anxiety was worse than ever.
It was a vigorous cycle, and our therapist is the a single who commanded going minimal, however the process was long and hard, although I recognize more fulfilled and more lightweight than ever. The first thing I did, was sell our home and all the furniture in it. Instead, I bought myself a tiny home. This has forced myself and others to get rid of anything that isn’t’ essential… When I was building our tiny home, I decided to keep the interior minimal as well. There’s a single family room and a single lavatory, a small family room, and a few portable Heating and Air Conditioning units to keep the arena heated and cooled. Thankfully, I live in a region where the weather is moderate all year round. I don’t face extreme winters or humid summer time heat. I have a natural temperature control, also known as our windows… On the mornings where the temperature drops below 30 degrees, I turn on our portable heater. On a scarce summer time afternoon where the temperature rises above 90 degrees, I whip out some portable fans and a portable A/C unit, then my new beach house is so small, that it doesn’t take much to heat or cool our entire arena.
